We are pleased to share our vacation home offering casual beach living on the Gulf, for a wonderful, restful vacation. Island Sands is located on the quieter west end of Okaloosa Island. A wide variety of entertainment and shopping are nearby.

The views of the sand and surf from sunrise to every marvelous sunset are spectacular from the beach, 2nd floor private balcony and through the patio doors and west facing corner living room windows.

Our beach is not crowded. The complex has just 27 units. Two beach chairs and a beach umbrella are set up each day between March 1 and October 31, at no charge to our guests. Enjoy a long walk on the pristine white sand beach next to emerald waters. Build a sandcastle, read a book, or rent a kayak on premise. Take a trip into Destin to zip line, enjoy a pub, rent a boat, golf, or take a fishing charter. Your vacation at your speed. Enjoy our bit of paradise inside, outside, or on the balcony. We fell in love with Island Sands a few years ago and are sure you will too. We always have a fantastic trip when we vacation at the beach and visit Destin

The layouts at Island Sands are terrific with a large living room open to the full kitchen. The master bedroom has a king-sized bed and an attached half-bath. A full bathroom is located in the hallway between the kitchen and bedroom. A queen-size sleeper couch is in the living room.

Okaloosa Island is known for its white sugar sand beaches, emerald green waters, and countless attractions. Nearby Destin is widely known as the 'world's luckiest fishing village'. Come see the beautiful island for your first time or return over and over again because it is always a good time!!

Lovely

This was our second visit to this condo. The condo is just the right size for the two of us. Not having to share a bathroom makes getting ready to go out a lot easier. Beautiful views of the beach from the balcony. The owner has taken good care of the unit. It is clean and has a great beach vibe.

Perfect Get Away!

Island Sands 209 is on the list for repeat visits. Everything was perfect. Steps away from the endless white sand beach. We had a one day staycation inside due to storms but the host checked in us and we were comfortable watching from the balcony. We will be back!

About the host

Hosted by Judith Kalpin

We are hopeful that you will enjoy our beach home. This condo on Okaloosa Island is a favorite place for us to relax and enjoy! When we awake in the morning we just say 'WOW' when looking out through the sliding glass doors at the Gulf of Mexico and each evening there is a wonderful sunset that is viewed from either the beach, from the living room or the balcony. Several times we have rented at this condo complex and fell in love with this small, friendly location. Now we are delighted to be owners and to share this little piece of paradise with guests.

At our northern residence we live an active life of work and outdoor recreation. We also enjoy spending time with family, friends, and church/charitable activities.

Why they chose this property

Okaloosa Island is quiet, beautiful and close to many activities. The complex is small, friendly, well-maintained, and our corner unit offers privacy. Island Sands offers the convenience of an exterior staircase so there is no waiting for elevators. The door to our unit #209 is set off from other entrances.

Inside the unit is comfortable, housekeeping is great at keeping it clean, and with the open floor plan there are great views even from the kitchen. The convenience of a full kitchen and washer/dryer make this condo easy living for a short or longer stay.

What makes this property unique

We as owners want our guests to be delighted with this vacation rental. As a Licensed Real Estate Agent with Mabarak Realty in the State of Michigan, Judith's goal is to be available to guests 24/7 for any questions, concerns, inputs or issues just as she is readily available to other clients in the real estate market.
